My First Day With the Galaxy Z Fold 7: This Foldable Finally Feels Just Right to Me

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-29 05:00:00

There's something slightly ironic about the superslim Galaxy Z Fold 7. Because the generous 6.5-inch cover screen feels much more normal than those found on previous versions of Samsung's foldable, I've hardly bothered opening the phone to use the sprawling inside display -- despite that kind of being the whole point. That's not a bad thing. Rather, it's a testament to how Samsung has managed to make both displays practical and useful. The cover screen no longer feels like an awkward compromise

Android’s first Canary release brings a major upgrade to split-screen multitasking

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-29 22:08:39

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR A new 90/10 split-screen ratio is now available in the latest Android Canary release, allowing for more flexible multitasking on tall displays. This feature lets a primary app use 90% of the screen while keeping a secondary app in a small sliver, which can be swapped with a single tap. While previously in development, the final version adds the 90/10 option alongside the existing 70/30 split, rather than replacing it. Most Android phones feature tall,

Samsung’s FlipShot feature for Flip phones is a goofy take on ‘Made You Look’

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-30 16:29:05

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s MultiStar app now offers a so-called FlipShot feature on Galaxy Z Flip phones. This feature will show “stylish photos and messages” on the cover display when you’re taking a selfie with the rear cameras. The Good Lock app also lets users add a custom image to their cover screen, but we’re not sure what this means. Samsung has just launched the Galaxy Z Flip 7 series and Galaxy Z Fold 7, which are the first Galaxy devices with the One UI 8 up

New settings can trigger the screen saver only when upright and charging, with a further option to restrict it to wireless charging.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 fixes the biggest gripe with using Gemini on flip foldables

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-31 16:00:37

TL;DR The Galaxy Z Flip 7 now runs Google Gemini’s Android app natively on the cover screen. This is a step up from Flip 6, which could only support text-based chat with some workarounds. Gemini Live also works directly from the cover screen. The progressive increase in the Galaxy Flip’s cover screen size has also expanded its utility over time. The cover screen on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 measures 4.1 inches, occupying a larger space than the previous model’s 3.4-inch layout. This means m

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs. Z Flip 6: I used both models, and there's a clear winner

Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung’s Z Flip 7 feels less like a major leap forward.

Honor's Magic V5 folding phone, announced last week, beats Samsung on thinness at 8.8 mm folded and 4.1 mm unfolded, but Samsung's specs are still impressive.
